and 6L "so be retained moved and ution being which the slides 46 and 47 are shown as extending toward each other approximately far as the members 50 and 51 respectively. Thus the pressure of the work againstthe grinding tool produces no more leverage on the slides through the spindles than would .be the case if the tool were directly fastened to the slides. Consequently there is no opportunity of multiplying at the tool any looscness which may exist between the slides and the guide 48.

The left-hand slide -16 which carries the stationary spindle member is provided with a rack 68 with which meshes a pinion (39, held in a bearing beside the guideway d8 and connected with a hand wheel 70 by which it may be turned. by this means the member 51. may be moved away from the arbor 52 to permit placing of the work, and may then be carried through the work until the arbor is seated in its hearing. The movable slide is arrested when carried forward into correct position by an adjustable stopscrew 71 set into a lug 72 on a plate 73 which is fast to the outer end of slide 46 and overhangs the end of the guide. This is so adjusted that the slide will be stopped as soon as thetapered end of the arbor reaches the tapered portion of the bearing in block 5 L. After the machine has been running the arbor is inclined to become heated and to expand. In some constructions, to take care of this expansion, I make the bearing block 54 capable of yielding, shown in Fig. Here the block is contained in a recess in the end of the bar 51. in which it capable of sliding endwise, being pressed outwa d toward the end thereof by a spring 7a; which reacts against an adjustable abutment 75, The bearing piece is prcyenl'od from be ing expelled from the bar by a cap 7&3 threaded outside the latter and having a central orifice to receive the arbor. In both Fig. 3 and Fig. 15 the space in the bar 51 in rear of the bearing block filled with fibrous absorbent pacuiing 77 which is saturated with oil to lubricate the l'lcaring. The supply of oil is replenished by a hole in the side oi? the bar, which is closedby a screw To.

An important feature of this invention which conduces to the accurate results desired the construction of the guideway l8. This is made upon two arms 79 and 80 which extend from opposite sides of a curved head or goose-neck 8i fixed to the pedestal 1. These arms are made tubular for stiffness, and the lett-hand one which carries the endwise movable slide is braced formed with the ordinary flat bearing face 84, and with undercut sides and 86, but the novel feature consists in the fact that the broad face as is inclined downward toward the bed at an angle of approximately fortyfive degrees. The upper edge 87 joining the face 84 and undercut side 85, is horizontal and parallel with the bed, and forms the actual guide for the slides. The latter are shaped so as to embrace the undercut sides, and each contains between one of its lips and the lower surface 86 an adj'l table gib 88 which can be clamped against the guide in the usual manner to hold the slide stationary.- The weight of the heads causes the slide to bear against the faces 8% and simultaneously, and takes up any looseness which there might be between the lips of the slide and the undercut sides of the guideway. Thus the adji'lslment of the slit always takes place accurately upon a straight line which is that of the edge 87, and therefore the spindles are always held in exact alinement, whether the slides are clamped to the guides or are loose. Thus there no possibility of the spindle axes getting out of line, even by carelessness and laclt ol at tention on the part of the operator.

Instead of having a nglc tool act throughout the whole extent of the work piece, it is possible to grind the latter siuuzltaucously at dillercnt points on two dill'orent diameters, as shown in Fig. 7. For this purpose the stationary rigid bar 51 rc novcd and a live spindle 89 substituted therefor which is held relatively in a substitute set ol boxes. These substitute boxes bear the same relation to the spindle 89 as the right-hand boxes to the spindle 50 for the purpose hercinlmlore described. Upon the spindle S9 is clamped a split pulley 90 which constructed. in all parts the szuiic as the pulley (i l. It is driven by a bolt 91 passing over a long drum 99. (li i s. l and 2) that is fixed to a countershat, J? turning in bearings in a frame 9a which is pivoted to the column 81, and is :uljustcd so as to produce the proper tension of the belt by a bar 95 passing through the :lraruc on which are screwed nuts 96. The drum has a length as great as the reciproeating motion given to the slide 10 and heads 38 so that the belt may continue to run upon it when the slide is retracted for insert-ion and removal ol work. The counter-shaft 93 driven at the desired speed by a cone pulloy J? to which a belt transmits motion from a convenient source of power. The righthand end of spindle 89 which projects so.

that it may enter the work, is surrounded. by a bearing sleeve US'so as to be held rigid.

'This sleeve the same in construction as the sleeve 59 shown in Fig. 3, except that it may be threaded upon the end of one of the boxes, as well as being secured by bolts 99 to the head, while the bearing sleeve 59 has a cylindrical flange 100 which is slipped outside'of the left-hand nut 60 and secured to the head 39 only by the bolts 101. ()n the end of spindle 891 is a grinding wheel vthe pawl carrier 113.

This same arrange provided for holding the Wheel instead of the other shown in Each of the grinding tools is femzitically after each cut, and this fee be the some in amount for each of th 01' it may be more tepid for one th; the other, according as conditions re-n1 The feed is produced by feed screw of which there is one carried between members of e; oath of heads and i'otatab mounted in e ring 105 in a plate box 106 which extends across the front the heads of each peinend connected them. The screw. engages with a not 10? formed upon yoke 108 which extends across and is fastened to the rigid adjacent guideweys $1. This yoke has two foot; pieces 109, each of which passes through a. slot in one of the slides 10 zind is screwed to t-l guidewsy 11. The length of the slots through which he feet pass is enough greater than the feet to permit suliicient movement of the slides to gii'e the necessary feeding movement to the tools. Flanges 110 surround the feet 109 end overlie the slots so that nothing can tallinto them and obstruct the movement of the slides heads.

On the fol'wzufd end of each screw is fixed a ratchet Wheel 111 while odiacent thereto is'loca-ted pawl 112 esri'ied by an 211111 113 pivotelly secured at 311 in tl. teo l box 106 (see Fig. 10).

rirriage 2 r held, u'iounted similarly to the cross-tie carriage in my p .icr patent above referred yatent referred to "J--shapcd cam project-ion 180 to, and is ted tra sversely of the bed and grinder by means ot a screw 175) which arranged and acts similarly tdthat in the The screw is turned step by step after each cut of the grinder so as to -teed the work up to the latter, by a carrie 1.. th e snittable bar 166 11). The incl inec sides. of this cam projection act upon the end of a plunger 181 which passes dowmva d through a sleeve 182 formed upon the stationary frame, and is held up against the cam projection by a spring 183. The plunger acts upon a pawl-carrying arm 18% so as to lower and raise e. pawl 155 which bears against the periphery of a ratchet wheel 180 on a sleeve carrying a pinion 188 that meshes with a gear wheel 189 fined and i6 3 on oppysito 11) enteringa groove in a,

to the shank of the feed screw 179; The parts are so ar anged that a downward movement oi the plunger causes the pawl to move the ratchet 186 through a. space of one or more teeth, according to the adjustment of the feed mehanism, while the pawl is raised after each downward movement by a spring 190 engaged with the arm 184 and with a bracket 191 to which the latter is pivoted. One adjustment for the feed is provided by the setscrew 192 threaded-into an arm of the bracket 191 which arrest: the upward movement of the pawl and so limits its movement in that direction while another set screw or screw step 198 on the end of the arm 18% bears againstthe plunger 181 and by adjustment limits the distance by which the latter moves the pawl downward. A. third screw 194; having a pointed end engages the ed e of the pawl nearest the ratchet, and so regulates the proportion of its travel in which it remains incontact with the ratchet. A spring 195 holds the pawl against this screw and against the ratchet. The smallest adjustment possible is one teeth of ti e ratchet, and the pitch of the feed screw and value of the gear train may be made such that each tooth will teed the work a distance 01" one ten-thousandth of an inch. The feeding devices previously described for moving the grindmay also be designed for a like fineness of adjustment, but a still. finer feed may be designed if desired.

it convenient construction for automatically stopping the cross teed when the work has been finished approximately to the requi-rcd size has been provided in the shield 196 which projects over the ratchet and is fastened to a disk 197 mounted loosely upon the sleeve 18? beside the ratchet 186. clamp nut 198 threaded upon the sleeve serves to bind the disk in adjusted'position and may itself be held by a set-screw 199. ver the grinding operation has been ted, and a measurement taken, the shield may be set at a distance from the toe of the pawl 185 corresponding to the exact number of ten-thousandths of an inchoi stock still to be removed. This distance is determined by scale of .graduatiens 200 marked on the ratchet. it will be understood after the disk has been clamped to the ratchet, it turns ,therewith, and when the loweredge of the shield comes adjacent the lower limit of the phwls movement, the latter will simply slide upon the shield, and will cease to feed the Work further.

It will be seen that the feeding mechanism last described, and the two feeding devices for the tool or tools, provide sop-a:- rately-operable means for feeding either the work or the grinder relatively to, the other, each of which may he fused'alone, .orvall-of which may he used in combination. There a. single tool is mounted as shown in Fi 3, it is sometimes convenient to hold the some in one position whilethei work is tied toward it, while when two tools are used, the work may be held stationary and each tool separately fed Or, on the other hand,

, the tool feed and work teed may be used in combination and in opposite directions so that the grinder may be fed as fast as its surface is removed by the truing tool so as to keep the acting point in the same position wlnle the work feed produces the necessary alteration of position of: the latter. Again by causing the tool to be fed in the some cirect-ion as the work, but at a slower rate, the ditt'erence between the two feeds may be made to produce a finer feed than can be obtained by either that of the work or tool "alone, and thereby Work of great accuracy may be broughtforth.

looling water is conducted to the work by a pipe 201, and discharged from a nor-: 202 into the bore of: the work. 1g

Flown thence the water falls upon the beds and is collected in a trough on the Jill. side of the latter, whence overflowing it falls into a trougl'l. 204: and into wide shallow pans 205 and 206 on the rear of the car riage t. The overllmv water from these pans is collected and immped again through the supply pipe by constructions and means similar to those described. in my prior Pat out No. 790,099 above referred to.
